Tecumseh car shows set

The 2014 car shows in Tecumseh have been set for May 15, June 19, July 17, Aug. 21 and Sept. 18.

As in previous years, the northeast city parking lot and North Ottawa Street from East Chicago Boulevard to the first residential driveway will be closed to traffic. United Bank & Trust will again allow use of its parking lot off Ottawa and Chicago.

City manager Kevin Welch and several members of the Tecumseh City Council said the Thursday evening shows bring a lot of people downtown. Councilman Jack Baker said downtown merchants have commented on the increased foot traffic on show evenings.
